Trotanoy 1979 is a red wine from Pomerol, made by Trotanoy. This listing is for one 3L bottle.
About This Wine
Trotanoy 1979 comes from Pomerol’s clay and gravel soils. This mature 3L bottle needs assessment on opening; age and format alone cannot guarantee its condition. The château’s Merlot vineyard gives a dense wine capable of developing earthy and truffle-like notes.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Dried plum, earth and mushroom.
- Palate: Soft mature fruit with residual grip.
- Finish: Savoury and gently chocolate-toned.
Serving & Food
Handle the large bottle carefully and decant only to remove sediment. Roast pigeon and mushrooms suit the wine’s mature, earthy profile.
How to Enjoy
Pour small glasses first and follow the aromatics without extended exposure to air.

About the Château
Jean-Pierre Moueix acquired Trotanoy on the Pomerol plateau. The property’s dense clay and gravel can be difficult to work when dry; iron-rich material also lies beneath. Its Merlot vines are vinified in concrete vats and the wine is matured in oak.
